The Chandelier Stop is a trailing stop that is based on the 
volatility of the market. It has been successfully used AND 
recommended 
by a number of traders, including Chuck LeBeau, for trend-following 
systems. The equations for the Chandelier Stop (CS) indicator 
recently
incorporated into the FT Program are as follows: 

if Long: CS=HH-Factor*EMA(Range, Length)
if Short: CS=LL+Factor*EMA(Range,Length) 

Here, HH denotes the Highest High since the indicator flipped from 
Short to Long, LL is the Lowest Low since the indicator flipped from 
Long to Short, 
AND EMA represents an exponential moving average. Values of Factor 
AND Length are input by the user, with the default values set to 3 
AND 20, respectively. 
When used for long-term, trend-following systems, the best values 
for Factor in most markets range from 2.5 to 4.0, while the Length 
is usually set in
the range from 10 to 20. You should conduct parametric studies on 
Factor AND Length to find the best values of these parameters for 
the particular market
OR issue you are trading.
